Wanna know something weird and pointless?

if you use Level Select in S3&K to get Knuckles to the Death Egg, if you select Act 2 and get to the giant Eggy mech, it's Robotnik who runs inside the robot, but it's Eggrobo who comes out of the roobot in the Egg-O-Matic with the Master Emerald.

My old copy of S&K was somewhat glitchy for some reason, as when you played as Knuckles on Mushroom Hill, sometimes the boss would be Robotnik, sometimes it would be Eggrobo, sometimes it'd be a glitchy half-Robotnik half-Eggrobo thing. Never happened if I locked it to S3 though.

Also, for some reason, the second boss of Flying Battery is ALWAYS piloted by Robotnik himself, even when playing as Knuckles. I dunno why.

Muhh. I TOLD you it was pointless.

It's not just your cartridge, Evan. I think Sonic Team just made a few oopsies with the game. I had the exact same problem with Knuckles in Mushroom Hill, and I think Sonic Team just forgot (read: didn't bother) to do up an Eggrobo sprite for the Flying Battery boss. Considering how stiff the Eggrobo is built, I wonder how it would look up like Eggman does in that craft, anyway...

Yeah, s'not the cart. In Mushroom Hill Zone Act 2, if you bounce on the boss a few times with Knuckles before he gets out of the ground while transmitting [with the satellite dish], it'll be Eggman that comes out, not the Egg-robo.

That's never happened with my cart (Or with my ROMs, in fact), and I almost always bounce a couple of times.

It happens with the cart, but they seem to have fixed it in SMC...
